Zagor – Kolor #14: Povratak Lapalettea

Count Lapalette, a gentleman thief and an old friend of Zagor’s, breaks into the Chicago mansion of the mysterious Doctor Warren. There he uncovers a deadly secret. His path crosses Zagor’s, who has arrived in the city following the trail of kidnapped Native American girls.

Povratak Lapalettea moves the adventure from Darkwood to the city streets. A burglary and a missing-person investigation reveal two sides of the same case. Other girls have disappeared from Chicago’s poorer districts in recent months, leaving Zagor to discover what lies behind the disturbing pattern.

Doctor Warren employs a criminal gang determined to stop the investigation. Clashes and chases accompany the search for answers, while Lapalette’s discovery gives the reunion of old friends a dangerous purpose. Criminal mystery and urban underworld action shape the episode.

Francesco Testi tells a story of missing victims and a secret concealed behind the walls of a private mansion. Alessandro Chiarolla’s artwork, coloured by GFB Comics, places the familiar hero in a different setting and gives a prominent role to his friend from the other side of the law.
